Michael Trimpol and Monique LaJeunesse

Little River HotGlass Studio

"Our work deals with creating harmony, in the balance of form and color.
"

Michael Trimpol and Monique LaJeunesse's work explores the nature of the glass. They feel a particular love for glass in its molten state, and they channel that love into the creation of objects of beauty and originality; vases, perfume bottles, and more.

The artists work with glass using traditional techniques, gathering and blowing the molten glass until each piece achieves the balance and harmony they are striving for. They often incorporate processes such as cold working, sand blasting, cutting, and polishing in order to accentuate or focus on characteristics of the material.
